1, POWER SYSTEM COMPRISES OF GENERATION ,TRANSMISSION , DISTRIBUTION & UTILISATION OF POWER.

2, GENERATION IS THE CORE OF POWER SYSTEM

3, VARIOUS MEANS OF POWER GENERATION

HYDEL,THERMAL, NUCLEAR &GAS

4, ROLE OF POWER TRANSFORMERS IN POWER SYSTEM GENERATION VOLTAGE IS IN THE RANGE BETWEEN 11KV TO 33KV SINCE THIS GIVES THE ECONOMICAL BALANCE BETWEEN THE COST OF COPPER ,THE COST OF INSULATION AND THE MECHANICAL STRENGTH TO RESIST CENTRIFUGAL FORCE.

TRANSFORMERS PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN POWER SYSTEM,SINCE IT IS POSSIBLE TO STEP UP AND STEP DOWN THE VOLTAGE FROM ONE LEVEL TO ANOTHER WITH A HIGH EFFICIENCY OF 99% OR MORE.

1 STEP UP TRANSFORMERS HAVE A VECTOR GROUP OF Yd11 OR Yd1 STAR CONNECTED WINDING LINE CURRENT = PHASE CURRENT LINE VOLTAGE =root 3 X PHASE VOLTAGE DELTA CONNECTED WINDING LINE VOLTAGE = PHASE VOLTAGE LINE CURRENT=root3X PHASE CURRENT 2,THE DELTA WINDING OF TRANSFORMER WILL BE CONNECTED TO GENERATOR SIDE AND STAR WINDING CONNECTED TO BUSBAR SIDE. 3, THE NEED FOR HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION THE LINE LOSS IS PROPORTIONAL TO THE SQUARE OF THE LINE CURRENT AND THE LINE RESISTANCE BY DOUBLING THE VOLTAGE THE LOSS CAN BE MADE TO 1/4TH THE ORIGINAL VALUE AND THEREBY THE EFFICIENCY TRANSMISSION IS IMPROVED. ALSO LIMIT OF POWER TRANSFER IS PROPORTIONAL TO THE SQUARE OF THE VOLTAGE

TRANSMISSION VOLTAGE IS DECIDED BY THE QUANTUM OF POWER TO BE TRANSMITTED AND THE DISTANCE OVER WHICH THE POWER IS TO BE TRANSMITTED. VARIOUS VOLTAGE LEVELS a, 400 KV b, 220 KV c, 132 KV d, 110 KV e, 66 KV f, 33 KV g, 11 KV LOAD CENTRES ARE LOCATIONS WHERE POWER IS REQUIRED FOR DISTRIBUTION.
